Free Wood Chips from Chipero

How our service works

When you request wood chips through us, it will become visible to multiple tree service companies in your area. When a tree service company loads our app from their phone, it will find their location and show them the closest people that need chips.

If you are close to where they are working, they will try to call you to arrange delivery — please make sure you list a phone number you'll have access to during the day, otherwise they are much less likely to deliver to you.

Your Chips

Number of wood chip loads desired:

Your wood chip deliveries will vary in both quantity and quality. Even though some tree service companies produce more uniform chips than others, no company does so consistently.

When are you able to accept wood chips? Longer time frames make delivery more likely.

Heads-up: Wood chip deliveries to this zip code tend to be on the larger side (approaching 30 cubic yards). If you don't need a large amount, you may want to share a delivery with a neighbor, or specify in your delivery instructions how much (in cubic yards) you'll accept.
The tree service company cannot pick up chips after they are delivered, and paying to remove large amounts of extra wood chips can cost several hundred dollars. Please be clear about what you want to prevent misunderstandings!

Wood chip delivery is subject to the following terms and conditions:

I am the property owner or representative agent of the delivery address listed.

I will hold the tree service company delivering wood chips harmless for any damage (including, but not limited to, driveway cracks, underground utility damage, and turf damage) resulting from the use of their vehicles and equipment in delivering the wood chips.

I understand that the tree service company can deliver no less than a full truckload of wood chips, that the quantity of wood chips per truckload is variable, and there may be more or fewer wood chips than I need for my project. I will not complain about the amount of wood chips delivered unless more than the specified number of truckloads of wood chips are delivered.

I understand that efforts will be taken to keep the wood chip load will be free of logs and other trash but that the quality of wood chips is variable.

I understand that chips are delivered as convenient for the particular tree service company making the delivery, not on a first-come-first-served basis. I understand that delivery is not guaranteed.

I will accept delivery of the chips on any reasonable part of my property if my preferred dump location is unreachable.

I understand that poisonous plants (including, but not limited to, poison oak and poison ivy) are occasionally included in the wood chip load and agree to hold the company delivering the chips harmless for any discomfort, illness or malady resulting from the presence of any poisonous plants in the wood chips.

I expect a call before the chips are delivered but I authorize delivery of the chips within the specified time period, even if I don't answer the phone.

I accept the terms of wood chip delivery and understand Chipero's privacy policy.

Wood chip loads can vary between 10 and 30 cubic yards of wood chips. For reference, the bed of a pickup truck is typically about 2 cubic yards.

Your instructions for dumping chips should be accompanied by the placement of an orange circle painted on the ground or other method of clearly marking the location. Written instructions without an on-site marker are easily misinterpreted. Please also bear in mind that wood chip trucks are 8 feet wide, 11 feet tall, and weigh about 13 tons. If you request wood chip delivery in an area where they cannot be placed, the driver will place them elsewhere on the property (as noted in the terms and conditions).

Wood chip deliveries occur when one of our partner tree companies requests a wood chip dump location from our service and you are their nearest or easiest candidate. The deliveries are therefore NOT done on a first-come-first-serve basis — a longer time window makes delivery more likely.

The tree service company making the delivery will try to call you before delivering and may not deliver if you don't answer. Please enter a number you have ready access to throughout the day and be prepared for a call from a number you don't recognize.

Our service is for people wanting arborist wood chips. Arborist wood chips differ from commercial wood chips in that:

They are less uniform in shape and composition.

They are not dyed and have no additives.

Arborist wood chips are great for your yard, garden, and trees.
The chips are usually a mixture of wood types and often have some leaves as well. You can generally expect to receive between 10-20 cubic yards of wood chips (for reference, a bed of a pickup truck is about 2 cubic yards), with some areas receiving up to 30 cubic yards.

If you have specific needs about wood types or chip quantities, please make your preferences known in your delivery instructions, and the tree service will try their best to honor them. This may result in longer delivery times.
